The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five fiollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North Amfrica,
several of which have appeared in circulation
•within a few days past ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be dijlingiii/hed by the following
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL thai have appeared hav: the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The TeAture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than theM. and other letters of that word,
lo that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the tNp of the M. would extend con
fideiably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the f inclining more forward
than the ii
The engraving is badly exectited,the strokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the devite
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appeal s darker than in the true bills. Some
oi the couuterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as the Bank was not in operation tiil Decern
bej-, and no five dollar bills were iflued in
ihat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that hive appeared have the letter
B for their alphabetical mark.
s They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of" the couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described j the Engraving ls bettei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of* the genuine bills.
The fine ruled Hnes through the word Twen
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number thir
teen it> the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The \Mbrd Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the o being iels than the m, and others
following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the'ftroke is well
defined.
The letters in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, but are Co cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and 'hey go
ing below them.
The figuarure J. Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
o:J, and differs from other inks used in
printing the bills and the cashier's Signature.
It is (uppoled ihefe forgeries were committed
in foinc of" the Southern Slates, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thence, and two persons have been apprehend
ed iu Virginia, on suspicion of being the author
of' ihem.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Person or Persons who ihall
discover and prolecute to conviction the feveial
offenders of the following defWiptions or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufa&ured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The per<on or persons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has a£ted as a principal in
any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing ihe said biiis.
Philadelphia, March 28, f/94
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS,and the alphabetical maik is the let
ter B.
They may be diftinguiflied from the gcnu
ihe by the following MARKS :
The pape* r of the counterfeits is of a more
tender texture and glolTey fur face than the
genuine, and tliere is no water mark in them.
Tke letter C. in the word Cashier, in ihe
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, ihe whole letter is a line hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The
letter a in the word demand, is badly formed
and the whole word ill done, and there is no
comma at the end of it, as there is in the
genuine bills,
tuth&s3w
The marginal device, is much daiker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
tlie (hade (trokes being coarfei, much nearer
together, and consequently much more nu
merous. This difference fti ikes the eye at firft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, wiJl be paid for apprehending, &
prosecuting to conviction the i'evcral above
described Offenders in iefpe& to this, as to
the last described biV.s.

THEgrand principle of Equalit v, ii' right
ly understood, is the only basis on which
universal justice, (acred order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly biiilt, and pcnuauciit
ly secured. The View of it exhibited in this
eflay, at the fame time that it rrprellVs the
insolence of office, the tyranny of and
the outrages of uppreflion ; confirms, in the
most forcible manner, the iiecefiity of subor
dination, and the jull demands of law Jul au
thority. So far indeed, from loofenivg the
bands of society, that it iriaintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil diftinfti'on,
draws more clolely every focia! tie, unites in
one harmonious and juftiv proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inhertDt rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com
mon relation to the community.
